Budget-Friendly Restaurants

#1 Súperchido — 82 Charles Street, Seddon

Mexican | ★ 4.5/5 (670 reviews)

What makes it great: The first thing you notice at Súperchido is a dining room that has not been redecorated in years and is better for it. The tortillas are the foundation. If they are made in-house from nixtamalized corn, you are in the right place. If not, you are eating a wrapper. Worth crossing Seddon for. Worth crossing Melbourne for, honestly.

The 4.5/5 Google rating (670 reviews) reflects what regulars already know.

What locals say: “Ong deliciousness!!! I couldn’t stop raving about the chilaquiles nachos as I was eating it. And their chicken and pork was soooo smoky- loved it!! Cochinita tacos was yummy and th…”

#1 Mozzarella Bar — 103 Victoria Street, Seddon

Pizza

What makes it great: Ask anyone on Victoria Street where to eat and Mozzarella Bar comes up before you finish the question. There is a reason half of Melbourne’s Italian restaurants reference their nonna. This one actually cooks like she is in the kitchen. Add it to your rotation. You will not regret it.

Hours: Mo-Th 12:00-23:00; Fr-Su 09:00-23:00 | Phone: +61 3 9687 0097 | Website: Mozzarella Bar

#1 Los Pollos — 230 Nicholson Street, Footscray

Mexican

What makes it great: What Los Pollos does well, it does better than anywhere else in Seddon. Melbourne is still figuring out Mexican food. This place is further along than most. You will not Instagram it. You will remember it.

Hours: Tu-Th 11:30-20:00; Fr 11:30-11:00; Sa 16:00-21:00 | Phone: +61 3 9396 0368 | Website: Los Pollos

#1 Sinjeon — 79 Victoria Street

Korean

What makes it great: The queue outside Sinjeon tells you everything before you walk in. The banchan arrives first and it tells you everything. If the small dishes have care, the main dishes will have ambition. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.

Hours: Tu-Su 11:45-15:00, 17:00-20:45; Mo 17:00-20:45 | Website: Sinjeon
